Morality

  1. Materials: Some kind of messy candy, Paper towel and wetwipes to clean up with.
    Activity:Ask a few class members to close there eyes. Tell them that you will place a object in the hands of the first class member, and that they should each in turn feel the object, with there eyes closed, closely examining the object until they think they know what it is. Once they have it figured out they should pass the object to the next person in line. this continues until each student has an opportunity to hold the candy. All the while the candy is getting messier and messier. When the last student is finished with it you hold it up in front of the class so they can see it and ask if any one would like to eat it.

    The candy is likened to ones morality and that if you begin passing it around freely it becomes messy until eventually nobody wants it. Explain to the students it is important to keep your morality sacred until you get married so you don't risk ruining such a wonderful thing. It can also be pointed out that not only the candy (or person represented by the candy), but also every person who handled it became messy.
